Courses for Parents

Parenting can be a tough job and there certainly aren’t any rules. But if your child has a disability, you may find it helpful to learn more about their impairment and how it affects their development.

Parent2Parent offer training courses to support parents of children with a disability. You can find out more about what they involve on their website.

Some organisations such as AltogetherAutism and Speld NZ also offer training courses for parents tailored to a child’s specific disability.

If you think you could benefit from some education around your child’s disability, your health professional should be able to suggest an appropriate course for you.
